Hey there! I’m Lewis(Mwemezi) David, a passionate visual creator from Tanzania, with a deep love for storytelling through images and experiences. My background is in biotechnology, but my creative side thrives in capturing the untamed beauty of nature and human expressions.

I’m an explorer at heart, always looking to connect with new people, share cultures, and exchange unique perspectives. I believe that “A man who is a Master of Patience is a Master of Everything else!”, and I try to live by this mindset in everything I do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my greatest adventures has been traveling across all regions of Tanzania, exploring its most remote and breathtaking sites. This journey has allowed me to experience the incredible diversity of landscapes, cultures, and wildlife that make Tanzania so unique.

I’m also passionate about endurance sports and have completed multiple marathons across Tanzania, earning eight medals along the way. Running has taught me discipline, resilience, and the joy of pushing beyond limits.

Beyond my personal travels, I love introducing foreigners to the beauty of Tanzania. Whether it’s hiking in Lushoto, trekking the Udzungwa Mountains, experiencing the Serengeti safari, or relaxing on Zanzibar’s pristine beaches, I always go the extra mile to ensure they experience the best of what Tanzania has to offer.
